Certainly not, but there is here, and
there has been here for several years, an
executive committee, the members of which,
however, are comparatively independent in
their collective actions, although in matters
of very grave Importance they are compel

CONDITION OF THE ORGANIZATION.

is satisfactory enough. We have acted here
on the principal Of quality rather than
quantity. We have pluclSed out the weeds
and tares, and have none at present but
picked men. No such diabolical wretches as
Red Jim McDermott and Capt. Stuart
Stephens will ever again find footing in
our body. Parnellism, l must tell you,
played an unlucky game with our men in
the West of Ireland, breaking up circle
after circle and emasculating the bone and
sinew of the country. So long as Parnell-
ism was fashionable our organization had to

another secret revolutionary association,
the name of which / am not at liberty to

soldier, and the best and truest friend; while
in the council camp Of the +. B. there are
gentlemen whose earnest and self-sacrificing
patriotism can never be brought into ques-

should settle their differences and turn their
attention at once to the renewal of active
